i SHADE-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 1, 1920.

Application led July 5, 1919. Serial No. 308,768.

To all 'whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, BEN SnLwAcKi, a c1ti- Zen of the United States, and resident of Kulpmont, in the county of Northumberland and State of Pennsylvania, have in-.

vented certain new and useful Improvementin Shade-Holders, of which the following in a specification.

This invention relates to shade or curtain holders or the like, and has for its object to provide a reliable device, simple in construction and inexpensive in cost of manufacture.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts on the drawings.

vReferring briefly to the drawings, Figure 1 represents my device in plan view, as it appears attached to a window sash.

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the same.

Fig. 8 is a side elevational view of the same.

Referring now in detail to the drawings, the frame of my holder is composed of two similar parts or arms, indicated bythe reference numerals 1 and 2, the same being telescopically connected in adjustable relation by means of sleeves 3. Each of said arms 1 and 2 is shaped as illustrated, being provided with outwardly projecting brackets 6. Said brackets are provided with eyes 5 and troughs 4 for the reception of the pin or spindle ends of a shade roll. A looped bracket 7 is secured to each of the arms 1 and 2 in order to retain a curtain pole or the like.

Clamps 13 are secured to the arms 1 and 2 for the purpose of attaching the holder to a window sash 9. Each of said clamps is constructed of a channel piece 12 rigid to the jaws 8 slidable in said channel. Each of said jaws has a nut 11 integral with its inner end, through which passes a screw 10, pivotally mounted on said arm. On rotation of said screw in one direction, the jaws 8 will spread, and on reverse rotation of the screw, the jaws will close. Thus it is possible to attach the holder to window sashes not only of different widths, but also of different thicknesses.

Having thus described my invention7 what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

In a device of the class described,` a combined curtain and shade holder comprising a horizontal bracket composed of two parts having telescopic connection, means for providing said connection consisting of a sleeve rigid to the inner end of each of said parts and embracing the other part, clamps for attaching the device to a window frame comprising a troughed member rigid to each of said parts, said members extending equally above and below each of said parts, substantially S-shaped clamps slidable in said trough, eyes rigid to the inner ends of said clamps, the interior of said eyes being screwthreaded, and an adjusting screw passing through each pair of said eyes, the ends of said parts being bent first downward and then at right angles to the same and upward, said last named bent portions being provided with troughs and eyes, an upright member rigid to each of said parts near the outer end thereof and being bent in substantially the form of a horizontal S.
